. >> by now i hope everybody in america who has a toyota or a lexus made between 2004 and 2010 has checked to see if your is one of the ones affected by one of the oddest recalls of all time. 4 million vehicles, approximately, were recalled because the driver floor mat could cause you to be in an accident and possibly even cause a fatal wreck. it's weird, isn't it? and the remedy, so simple, you pull out the floor mat on the driver's side and you let your carpet get dirty in the car. but most recalls aren't so simple as that. the shocker, though, is that most of the time, even when there's a recall involving serious safety stuff, people don't respond, don't take their cars or trucks to the dealer. i want you to take care of it, especially if it's steering, braking, something like that. there's a website you can learn what's going on with your car, autosafety.org. check it out. i'm clark howard. check me out at cnn.com/clarkhoward. >>> and for more ways to save more, spend less, and avoid getting ripped off, don't miss the clark howard show today at noon eastern right here on hln. >>> a guy

what he said was first scene on tv this morning on "good morning america." let's watch. >> slow things down and calm things down a bit. until i get through my divorce and until i know everything's settled and okay. i don't want another failure in my relationship, from my past actions. i don't want to make the same mistakes i did with kate, with hailey. >> rabbi, here's a question for you from "showbiz tonight" facebook fan donna r. a are you going to counsel jon on how wrong it will be if he stays with hailey, the daughter of the surgeon who did kate's stomach repair after the birth of his eight children. wouldn't that be a constant reminder of the pain he has put on his family. >> i think the reason why putting this relationship on ice a little bit is so important is for three reasons. number one, when you're going through a divorce, your children are in a lot of pain, you can't be distracted by a relationship. and number two, you aren't divorced yet. the children deserve clarity. finally, number three, you don't date someone on the rebound. you have to cre
